Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 91836
instant preview when changing object properties
Last modified: 2014-02-23 12:46:30 UTC
Currently, when changing an object's properties such as size, colour, rotation angle or position in Impress or Draw, one has to adjust the values, close the dialogue, see what it looks like, re-open the dialogue, adjust the values again etc. This process could be sped up greatly, OpenOffice had an "instant preview" option, such as many other programs do (MS Office, Adobe Illustrator etc.). To prevent slowing down the system, the instant preview could be optional by selecting a check box. Thanks for having done a great job with OpenOffice already! Very useful software. Stan

Nice feature request. Have you tried the new version of AOO with the sidebar, changes there lead to immediate changes for the objects.
Apologies Armin. Comment 1 was performed by Impress - insert picture - right click - position and size -> change visible only after OK I personally don't use the Sidebar.
